  Both valid and with attacking threat. I'd probably just about go Gab based on naildness, with Tierney able to eat into Zinc minutes. Go with your gut though as both great choices.

  Chil was always my plan (along with Salah to Madd for -4 to afford). Mildly miffed at his goal to seduce more new potential owners.

      I think Watkins can get a goal on the break against anyone. Havertz might rely more on Chelsea playing well as a team. I think it's a close call.

Been punished week in week out for no Kane and Martinelli. When will I learn. Dropped into 200k now.
